34:1 And The Lord said to Moses, “Cut out two tablets of stone like the first, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets which you smashed. 34:2 And be prepared in the morning, and go up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and station yourself for me there on the top of the mountain. 34:3 And no man is to come up with you, nor let any man be seen throughout the mountain, nor let the flocks or the herds graze before that mountain.” 34:4 So Moses cut out two tablets of stone like the first; and early in the morning he went up to Mount Sinai, just as The Lord had commanded him; and he took in his hand two tablets of stone.
34:5 And The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there; and he made proclamation of The Lord by name. 34:6 And The Lord passed by before him and proclaimed: “The Lord, The Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, and abounding in loyal love and faithfulness, 34:7 keeping loyal love for thousands, forgiving iniquity, and transgression and sin. But he by no means leaves the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the children’s children, to the third and fourth generation.”
34:8 And Moses quickly bowed to the ground, and worshiped. 34:9 And he said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, let my Lord go among us, for we are a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.”
34:10 And he said, “I am going to make a covenant before all your people. I will do wonders such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation. And all the people among whom you are will see the work of The Lord, for it is a fearful thing that I am doing with you.
34:11 Keep what I am commanding you this day. I am going to drive out before you the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 34:12 Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it become a snare among you. 34:13 But you must destroy their altars, smash their images, and cut down their Asherah poles. 34:14 For you must not worship any other god, for The Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. 34:15 Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to their gods, then you will be invited, and you will eat from his sacrifice; 34:16 and you then take their daughters for your sons, and their daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will make your sons prostitute themselves to their gods. 34:17 You must not make yourselves molten gods.
34:18 You must keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you; do this at the appointed time of the month Abib, for in the month Abib you came out of Egypt.
34:19 Every firstborn of the womb belongs to me, even every firstborn of your cattle that is a male, whether ox or sheep. 34:20 Now the firstling of a donkey you may redeem with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, then break its neck. You must redeem all the firstborn of your sons.
No one will appear before me empty-handed.
34:21 On six days you may labor, but on the seventh day you must rest; in the plowing time and in the harvest you are to rest.
34:22 And you must observe the Feast of Weeks — the first fruits of the harvest of wheat — and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year. 34:23 At three times in the year all your men must appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel. 34:24 For I will drive out the nations before you, and enlarge your borders; no man will covet your land when you go up to appear before The Lord your God three times in the year.
34:25 You must not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; the sacrifice from the feast of Passover must not remain until the following morning.
